Community education session - Tuberculosis (TB)
Tuberculosis (TB) disproportionately impacts Alaska Native people in the Yukon-Kuskokwim (YK) Delta, an isolated and remote region of Southwestern Alaska. Although the rates of TB in the YK Delta have fallen over the past hundred years, they remain much higher than the US averages.
Learn more and get your questions answered by YKHC's Director of Public Health Brian Lefferts. We will be sharing information and answering your questions about tuberculosis, its impact on the region, and how communities can help reduce the spread of TB--and support community members who may be affected.

On President & CEO Dan Winkleman's last day of work at YKHC, we celebrate how his leadership has helped move YKHC closer to our mission: Working together to achieve excellent health.
During his 12+-year tenure as president and CEO, YKHC invested more than $500 million to construct new healthcare infrastructure, increased healthcare access with new and expanded services, created hundreds of new jobs and careers and awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars of scholarships. Dogidinh, Dan!
YKHC is in a strong position to keep moving forward on projects that will strengthen healthcare across the region, such as expanding the hotel, warehouse and YK Elders Home, increasing access to health services in villages and Bethel, and providing training and jobs to people from the region — all while staying focused on providing safe, high‑quality, culturally-relevant care to our customers.
